While details on the Netflix series that Marvel Studios has in the works have been vague in terms of what’s going on with them outside of some of the showrunners coming into play and what the series themselves will be in terms of basic characters. There’s been a lot of speculation about what the shows street level approach will be since it’s all taking place in New York City and being filmed there and even some ideas that it could be a 70’s based series in some ways that goes for a grittier aspect that disconnects it with the current movie world in a lot of ways and frees it up.
But some details have come out now thanks to Marvel’s Joe Quesada talking about how they’ll be connected:
“There will be some interconnectivity, much like the movies,” he revealed. “They will exist within the cinematic universe again, so this is all the same world as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers.”
What he does go into is that there will be some differences, likely in terms of presentation overall:
“Although these are superhero stories, this is different now. This is the street level…this is the street level noir side of the Marvel Universe. Something that you haven’t really, really seen in any of our Marvel movies,” said Quesada. “And probably more ground level, than I think you’ve seen. This is not like us doing Batman, Dark Knight or any of that stuff. This is very Marvel doing street level superheroes.”
While we’ve seen some of what’s going into place with Daredevil being lined up first with a director and showrunner, we haven’t heard much beyond that. But with plans to shoot this summer, scripts have to be moving fast and it appears they are:
“The scripts are coming in. They are pretty fantastic. They’re really emotional. They’re very, very original. But at the same time, it is Daredevil. It is Matt Murdock. We will eventually, hopefully start casting really, really soon, but I’m very, very excited about it.”
